Seed Tax

[Goodtime]

I am a simple man so maybe someone can explain how a seed tax can help the farmer retain and grow demand for our cereals on a global level....is it kind of like how the carbon tax I am paying will help the environment?

That answer should come from Mr Seed Tax himself Tom4$$$$4Tom.

He comes on Agriville with a rant every time he is in a battle. CSGA dissolving, R.M battle with poles and of coarse the CNR diet strike!

Tom was promoting the Seed Tax a few months ago, he give us all the benefit us farmers will be enjoying when it gets started.

Canterra really wants farmers to pay a seed tax.

Who will be buying Canterra seed this year?

You guys know, as anxious as you are
Get rid of Trudeau.

That a conservative majority will
Implement whatever the seed co.s
Want as soon as they get in.

Not that liberals on their own
Would be a a hell of a lot better.
Maybe they would listen now, maybe.

You know it is coming, one way or another.

But in a minority govt.with the
Ndp and the Bloc and the liberals
( COUGH COUGH )
We could maybe get some protections written in .
Like being able to access off patent seeds.
And ability to own seeds,
Not just lease the use of them.

I am sure you can make that case to the NDP and bloc.
(They are already there I think)

That it might not be a good idea
To give control and ownership
Of every seed on the planet to
To 3 corporations.

At that point , the conservatives are , Trapped.
How bad would it look to argue
To scrap our protections.

This is what he really means, "Just think what turning farmers into slaves will do for our bottom line." It is critical that farmers retain the right to own the grain they grow and save seed.

from the western producer front page story......A 93 percent or near doubling in seed prices

Saskpulse could also quit using our checkoff dollars to develop private label varieties for certain processors....at the very least charge them development costs plus a profit....

Any party or group who supports a ****ing seed tax should be ran out of the country. It’s corporate welfare. God wake up people.

Here is the Conservative's Agricultural policy. They support a seed tax, but not the carbon tax. whats the difference?

Surely to **** they cant be stupid enough and arrogant enough to think they can still pull this off ???
Farm net income dropped 41.%
Where do the dumb bastards think it will come from?
And who in the **** needs more wheat?
Certainly not the system or CN or CP ?
